Pretty excellent article which if you lay the "Super Power" sales pitches and the testimonials versus the results, this ends up being an excellent dissection of why Scientology is an L. Ron Hubbard quackery con operation.

Deflating mushy testimonials.

Mushy testimonials are signs of a con.

The "Creation of Human Ability" Hubbard book, chapter which has the "Grand Tour" is the Hubbard false promise that grabbed and kept me in Hubbard's nonsense wasting away decades supporting the Hubbard con.

"Super Power" doesn't include soul travel though, so I wasn't as interested in doing "Superpower" as much as eventually getting up to being able to do the L Rundowns which were the quackery rundowns Hubbard promises soul flying out of one's body.

The only thing related to the "Super Power" I was interested in doing and never did it, was the "Running In Circles Rundown" ("Running Program" aka "Cause Resurgence Rundown").

I wondered if doing the Running in Circles Rundown had some cosmic enlightenment aspect attached to it, because in one of the Hubbard "Running Program" writings, he says it was an outer space "OT process" that ancient civilizations used to rejuvenate their "OT" (bodiless godlike souls who co-existed in regular humanoid civilizations) and when needed, the "OT" bodiless souls would do the "Running Program" for rejuvenating them.

All nonsense crap quackery false science fiction con to me now.

But the "Running in Circles Rundown" is done at the "Flag/Superpower Building" today.

Total crock.

Clearwater could even develop some tourist shops with swag for selling Xenu and Superpower nonsense as a joke store.

"More Souls Exorcised In Clearwater, Florida Compared to Any City in Human HIstory"

"Flag Does Orders of Magnitude Exorcism of Xenu's Body-Thetans"

"Running in Circles Rundown, Clearwater Florida Scientology Only".

The testimony that should ring the loudest warning bell for all of them is the New OT VII who had to make up reasons Super Power fixed problems she had. Even as a Scientologist reading that, I’d be leery. When do I have to stop fixing and start living? Spoiler alert: Scientology doesn’t fix anything.
